The current 'Beechwood Avenue' depot opened in November 1975, for which Crosville issued a commemorative booklet.

Incidentally this site is the 4th location to be used in the town, prior to this the depot had been located at:
West Road, Weston Point (1920 to 1935)
Baker Road, Weston Point (1935 to 1942)
Broadway (1942 to 1975) This being the depot "near the Old Town" referred to above.

It is also believed that, during the time the Baker Road depot was in use, some buses were outstationed at the ICI works in Weston Point.

In the early '20s there was also an outstation at the Railway Hotel in Widnes (listed as a 'depot' in the 1921 timetable)
